Bottled. For whatever reason I found this stuff to be incredibly good. Lots of sweetness and maltiness. It’s called a tripel but it’s not really a tripel. ANyway I found it better than most.

Chocolate and grapes in the aroma. Sweet, sugary, alcoholic flavor. Chocolate and pear. The sugar hides the alcohol somewhat, but this also destroyes the balance. Disappointing.

From Jun 2007
This pours from 750ML corked and single strap caged bottle(best by Oct 3 2007) a clear dark brown with a good head of foam that shrinks fairly quickly leaving just a few islands and there is some lacing.
The smell has some sweet and roasted malt with a touch of chocolate.
The taste is good. I'm getting some chocolate with roasted malt, some dark fruit, plum and fig, and a bit of tartness and alcohol. It's quite warming and relaxing. After a few more sips, I notice a nutinness and a yeasty flavour in the background; this is a pretty complex brew and I'm enjoying sipping on it. It's going to take me a while to finish the bottle....
Bottom line: A Triple Brune? That's a first for me but I have to say, for this brew, it works quite well. I recommend it.

Flasche (75 cl) von der Brauerei in der Abbaye d’Aulne, MHD: 11/2013, zwei Jahre im Keller gelagert. - Tiefes Rotbraun, klar; kurzlebiger Schaum. - Nase sehr süß karamelmalzig mit weinigen, schwach obergärig beerenfruchtigen und leider auch etwas muffig-herben Noten; ähnlich wie ein zweitklassiger Doppelbock. - Antrunk sehr süß dunkelmalzig mit simpler Karamelmalzbittere aber ohne nennenswerte Hopfenaromen. Sehr rezent, geradezu brauseartig; eher dünnes Mundgefühl. Süßsäuerlicher Abgang mit etwas holziger aber wenig differenzierte Hopfenherbe. - Recht simples dunkles Starkbier, das auch nach zwei Jahren Lagerung noch so schlicht und einfallslos schmeckt wie am ersten Tag. Nicht empfehlenswert.

Being Belgian, I am fully aware of the lack of style standards among Belgian ales, but something in my head objects when I see a dark beer named ’triple’, at least if Westmalle Tripel is to be regarded as the prototype of the genre... So in spite of its name, in my classification this NOT a triple. Anyway: yellowish beige head, not very thick and eventually dissipating, colour a pure bronze, clear. Aroma dark malts (caramel, chocolate, hint of coffee), dates, blackcurrant, pear, a slight ’perfume’ of caramel candy, liquorice; mouthfeel smooth, rounded, a bit resinous, tastes sweetish (malt sweetness) with sharp carbonisation in the beginning and warming alcohol in the finish. A bit boring, like most of the ADA beers.

(Bottle, Delirium Monasterium, Brussels, 25 Oct 2013) Dark reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty nose with caramel, dark bread and dried fruit. Malty taste with notes of caramel, dark bread, raisins, a touch of chocolate and a mild spicy bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Nothing unexpected, but tasty and quite nice.
